Me or ill sick my poop sock on you

1. how do bands, tribes, chiefdoms, and states "evolve"?
2. what do settlement patterns tell archaeologists?
3. how did social rankings emerge in ancient society?
4. how can class ranking be determined by burial sites?
5. how did economic structures differ in ancient societies?

critical thinking questions
1. what might have happened if chiefdoms and states had not developed as bands and tribes began to settle in a central area?
2. how can settlement archaeology archaeologists find sites?
3. explain the pros and cons of choosing leaders based on their achieved status rather than their ascribed status?
4. describe a form of ranking, or social hierarchy, evident in our society.
5. explain why different societies might have different rankings for the same person. for example, in ancient egypt merchants were ranked second only to nobles and priests, but in ancient china they were ranked the lowest and scholars were rated second.
